For about the last year and a half I've been using the 5-blade Gillette Fusion (no battery) and I love it. I have nicked myself (only) a couple of times...both times I was a) hurrying and b) using a blade that was a couple of months old. You are most likely to nick yourself when using an old blade. One of the really good things about the Fusion blades is that they are designed so rinsing between the blades is easy...clogged blades are another source of nicks.

The Fusion blades are expensive, but they last me quite a while - I don't have a heavy beard. In about 1 1/2 yrs I have only had 10 blades - 8 of which have be used and discarded; the ninth is in the razor and the 10th is still unused.
Exactly like me hex... I can't use an electric... it gives me a rash. I use the fusion also and I love it.

Dagger. Try washing your face real good first... the trick is to get the hairs soft. Either that or wet your face down and rub the shaving cream in for a good while. Unless of course your shaving after you shower... then u should be okay. Don't by cheap razors... use good ones. They won't cut your face up like the cheap ones do. Get with the lub strip on them...
